250g Silver Cast bar (Secondary)

At Jaggards, authenticity is of the utmost importance when acquiring second-hand precious metal items. Every piece undergoes rigorous, non-destructive testing to verify its genuineness. We utilise three advanced technologies to ensure the purity and quality of each item:

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analysis

XRF analysis uses X-ray fluorescence to determine the precise elemental composition of metals. This allows us to accurately assess the purity of gold and other precious metals without damaging the item. By measuring exact metal content, the XRF machine ensures each piece meets our strict authenticity standards.

Ultrasound Examination

Ultrasound technology enables us to examine the internal structure of each item. Ultrasonic waves pass through the material to reveal its internal consistency and integrity. This non-invasive method verifies that the item is free from hidden flaws or non-genuine materials, all while preserving its original condition.

Sigma Metalytics Conductivity Testing

The Sigma Metalytics device uses electromagnetic waves to measure electrical conductivity and other key properties of metals. These readings are compared to industry standards to confirm both authenticity and purity. The test is non-destructive – even through packaging – making it ideal for detecting counterfeit alloys without altering the piece.

Depending on the item’s weight, size and packaging, we determine which tool or combination of tools is best suited for verifying authenticity before proceeding with a purchase.

Our customers can buy with confidence, knowing that every secondary market item at Jaggards has been thoroughly vetted and meets our high standards for authenticity and quality.

There are several reasons why opting for secondary market options over mint issues might be advantageous:

1. Lower Premiums: Secondary market products often come at reduced premiums compared to new items, offering cost-effective choices for buyers.
2. Scarce and Unique Finds: Some secondary market finds are unique and scarce, such as discontinued designs from manufacturers like Johnson Matthey, older designs from Perth Mint, or ABC bullion bars.

In essence, silver is silver, so acquiring the same item for a slightly lower cost is a definite advantage. However, some buyers prefer the assurance and pristine condition of mint issues, which is why we cater to all preferences.
